deadlier than influenza? As many Scientists are racing to find more out about the coronavirus
and a viable treatment or vaccine for it, what we know about the virus responsible for it and the
dangers it poses to the public will change when more current information is available. This essay
will examine the differences and similarities between Covid-19 and Influenza and how they
Influenza (also known as the Flu) and COVID-19 (also known as SARS COV-2), the
disease caused by the novel coronavirus, are each capable of causing infectious respiratory
disease(s). However, there are some significant differences between these two viruses and how
they are treated. Though COVID-19 and Influenza symptoms can appear quite similar, both are
caused by very different viruses. They can both present as a vast range of illnesses, from
asymptomatic, without any physical signs, to very mild symptoms up to severe symptoms
including death.
According to the Center for Dease Control or CDC, both of these viruses could be
preventable by thoroughly washing your hands, practicing coughing in your elbow, staying home
when you're sick, and limiting your contact with people who either are or may be potentially
infected.
